Feds Recognize Two Progressive MTC Programs
The
national spotlight shone on two
Bay Area projects in July when
they were named tops in their categories
by the Federal Highway Administration
and the Federal Transit Administration
in the newly established Transportation
Planning Excellence Awards Program.
MTC’s Low Income Flexible Transportation (LIFT) Program was honored for improving
disadvantaged residents’ access to employment,
training, child care and other essential services.
To date, the program has provided $11 million to
32 innovative solutions, including shuttles that
take children to and from after-school activities,
and car loan pro- grams for low-income individuals.
The second award went to MTC for the creative and extensive public outreach for its
Transportation 2030 planning effort. The biennial awards program is cosponsored by the
American Planning Association.
